moon rose full Lyrics

Crescent, grow wide

Fill lives in lunar flights

Shedding stars out of the wings

Heavens on earth to speak in dreams

I dreamed, lids deep in shell-crush, ink-spill

Limbs bathed in silver spray, spun silk

Under the wave, its wing, protective tongues whispering my name

The wave and its offspring, singing between my teeth

Echoes, spell-breaths, nest in my throat

Hymns of praise to germinate in coral blush

Chalk to waxing seal, brush on the grass

Illumine the dark earth

Suspended star-thrall, muted awe

Sky flows violet, anchor off

Dive into the sea-mouth, bound of dawn

Wings beating outward, tremors on the wavefronts

Lower the light, unthread the horizon

Reroot the poles, unweb their guides

Level the sky, I pray, in twin nights

Level the night, I pray, in twin skies
